When reading the scriptures we bring or cultural bias with us. We read about fasting the Lord and easily interpret that as skein akin to terror rather than reverence. When Christ tells the Nephites that they are too weak to receive all his words at this time we might construe that as a gentle insult rather than a tender acknowledgement of their limitations. When I thought of it being comparable to my telling Ezra that something was to heavy for him and then allowing him to try getting it so that he knew I was right I understood how the Savior told the people that they were too weak.
